> these days I can't even remember the last time Perl was mentioned in casual conversation amongst my peers I mean, what's there to talk about? It's there, it works, not an exciting subject. It's like municipal water (if you have it), it's indespensible, but what is there to say about it. (Unless it has stuff in it you don't want) I did get some flack for writing a perl script for work recently, but I had some rubbish to list, and it does the job quite well.
